What do women think of circumcision?

As a woman, and human being, I think everything it has to do with the body, is a very personal decision, in this case a man's only decision, not a woman's one, because it's his body, not the woman's body. So, i would ask this question to men: what they think and feel about it?

My first boyfriend was circumcised, but my fiancee' is not. I actually prefer them uncircumcised, although I'll admit that as an American, it took me a bit of time to get used to. It's the natural way that it is supposed to be, so I'm fine with it.

Mawilson made a thread adressing that as well

My husband is the first man I have been with who was circumcised.....I think I prefer it that way...but I may just be giving a biased answer

CUT..
its dayum nasty if its not!

It does make me think, though, how much of a weight people put on that. I mean, do people actually go 'I'm sorry, I can't love you, your penis has extra skin on it and it's ugly'. Would that seriously be a breaking point for someone in a relationship if he didn't want to get circumcised and his girlfriend/fiancee' preferred it that way. I'm wondering how many men would put themselves through that sort of thing for someone they love, especially as adults, could you imagine... OW!

In my case, I'm American and our general populace is circumcised. But I fell in love with a man from Europe, where it isn't as wide-spread as it is here. When we were first talking, it never even came up. How often do you ask someone you've never met about their crotch? I didn't discover it until we actually met for the first time, and by then I was hopelessly in love with him so it didn't matter to me. I like him as he is, extra skin and all.

My ex-husband, an American male, wasn't circumcised either. He said his parents were too cheap to pay the doctor the 10 bucks it cost (in the 50's) to have it done.

I kinda think they're 'purtier' without Mother Nature's extra protective layer, but beyond that I don't care.

Here it's a parent's choice for religion reasons or hygienic reasons, all my friends that are atheist but circumcised have doctors for parents.
I had both and actualy prefers the circumised but just because i have serious doubts about men's sense of hygiene...

I do agree with that wholeheartedly, although mine is fastideous about it. He makes sure it's always kept clean so that isn't a real problem as some people might think it to be.

Wow. Almost unanimous support for circumcised penises.

Why is it that you gals think that circumcised penises look better?

Probably the same reason most men think a groomed p***y looks better.

Gav was the first man I was with that was NOT circumsized, I will admit that at first I was nervous about that(not sure why) but honestly-he is so blessed in that department that I don't care what it looks like, as long as he knows what to do with it-which he does

But do we want to remove a chunk of flesh from a p***y? I don't think so.

Unless hairs it doesn't grow back!!! the pain in the ### it is to trim/shave/tweeze or whatever makes it even, no?

Ever consider permanent laser hair removal?

Too painful, i'm a wussy

And french women are hairy anyway, we don't shave our armpits but you know that already don't you?
But what youdon't know is that we don't shave our crotch or legs either!!!

I'm going to go against the grain here, and state my preference for the way an uncircumcised cock looks.

Honestly, before I had sex with my fiance, I would avoid looking at the nether regions of the person I was with. It just never appealed to me at all; I had issues with oral as well. I only did it with my ex husband becuase we were married and I felt like I had to.

I was suprised when I first saw my fiance without his pants on. Maybe the biggest suprise was that I actually wanted to look at it. I don't know. Sounds a bit weird, but I actually think it looks beautiful. And another surpise for me was the fact I actually wanted to... erm... maybe I'll leave that up to your imaginations... .

OK I am going to embarass my fiance by responding to this one.

I agree with luvaLimey here, I think CUT ones are yucky. I don't really get why so many women think they are better looking.

Ok then but till now, men were mute on the subject! and reading all these posts of woman..what a difference!...

So Mark....I take it from that you are as God intended and haven't been tampered with

As an American female, who had not once in my lifetime seen an uncircumsized penis I must say it was very strange. I had always been led to believe it was dirty, so I did my own research and learned all that I could. He was as shocked about the fact I had never known anything but circumsized, and was very patient trying to explain all that he could. It was definetly a learning experience, but glad I took the time and opened my mind to something different. I don't find it any dirtier than a woman who can't keep herself clean. My husband has more of a cleaning ritual than I do, so no it isn't gross, dirty, or disgusting!

Fact is that in the heat of the moment it doesn't look much different than a cut one, and never recall myself being worried about the appearance of a penis during the act of love making it is what it is. His extra skin probably troubles me as much as it worries him when my nipples aren't erect.

An additonal note, KY and Astroglides stock has probably dropped. It's just better au natural, and works the way it is supposed to. I wouldn't want him any other way.

Amen.

Yep.

Not being circumcised helps lubricate for the guy in sex and masturbation.

'fraid so

If you're paying I'll take you up on it. Hope your wallet is deep cause it's EXPENSIVE.

cut, n like it that way. ive only been with 1 that wasnt, and i wont do it again, thank god for youth and condoms cause who knows how clean dat thing was under there ewwwww

Are you paying for my circumcision?

it would be a breaking point in the relationship for me. I never dated a man with something nasty like that.. oh hell no..

So when you dated men... did you ask the question before having sex?

yes....
it ranks up there with STDs and AIDs.- Iwanna know about that too.
I want to know about the person that is about to have part of my soul.

I have a twin brother. I rember our adoptive parents taking my
twin brother to get his "dooter" cut. I knew it hurt him but, it had to be done.

Okay if you have never had it, how do you know it is nasty????? If they weren't supposed to be that way, why are they born that way. I used to think it was nasty, but I was certainly educated.

I don't think it's nasty... if the guy is clean I don't see the problem

LOL. Shon, you're a trip!

I could see making this comment about a tattooed scrotum, or about a guy with a bizarre genital piercing...

But something they are born with????? "Something nasty like that"?

actully my ex husband had a piercing down there ..AFTER we married
I divorced is azzz. really fast. I would not even allow him to touch me!
but, being uncut is against my religon its also against my belife. if you wanna be with someone
that can give you nasty infections that YOU. I refuse.




I dont have to sleep with a man to know that something - UNCLEAN is on his body.
I know early on that being uncut is NASTY! thats why its supposed to be done when they are babies.
this is something certainly me and my husband will make sure our sons are CUT.


I realized something is all white people that like that UNCUT. cant relate - I am not white. - that explains it..

If I were purple, I would still feel the same.

As far as religion:

114 32:7

"He is the One who PERFECTED everything He created, and started the creation of the human from clay."


1 Corinthians 12:18
But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body, just as he DESIRED.

I suppose with any religion you can take out the bits and pieces you want and apply it to your life.

I suffered infections from a circumsized ex-husband but not once from my uncircumsized husband.
This isn't about black, white, blue or green. It isn't about religion because you can find in both the Quran and Bible the statement that God created man perfectly. What it is about is lack of knowledge, basing ones facts on what they are taught or what they think they know.


The flip side of this, I could say that if you want to marry someone who is to lazy to keep themselves washed appropriately to the point they need to remove a portion of their body more power to ya. What you are implying is that an uncircumsized man is going to be a carrier of disease. I strongly disagree with this simply because it is implying my husband is going to run around screwing everything in sight bringing infections home. Medically your husband (circumsized male) could bring home an STD at the same rate my husband (uncircumsized male) could, and if your husband or mine doesn't wash their wee wees you are going to get infections as well as I would. I guess you and I both could continue to believe what our mothers and grandmothers taught us, but my thought on this .............THEY DIDN'T HAVE PENISES........so I don't consider them experts.
We can prefer what we want to prefer, but I still feel like this choice should be left to the male. IMO neither cut or uncut is disgusting, what is disgusting is a man or even a woman who can't keep themselves clean enough to prevent infections. I am not attempting or even going to attempt to change your mind, but at least educate yourself on the good and bad of something before making a one sided assumption, might I suggest a Google? You say you knew early on it was nasty, you knew this how?

Bethanie sez:



The Smegma Faerie told her when she was just a wee tyke......

Sorry I couldn't resist. I find them both equally tastey!

What I find nasty is a close minded attitude. I am ok with religious choices but to just flat out state that something natural is "nasty" sounds nasty to me.

I voted that I don't care either way. If I love someone and he loves me then circumcised vs uncircumcised is a non-issue. To reject someone based on whether or not he is circumcised just doesn't make any sense to me. Saying it is unclean also makes no sense to me... we do have bathtubs and showers and sinks.

mary

Or you could always toss a little dirt on it!
When it's time to pray and you have just used the toilet or touched a woman, be sure to wash up. If you can't find any water, just rub some dirt on yourself. 5:6
Just hope if you were the woman he touched, he doesn't come back and touch you again. Would put a new meaning on making mud pie!

Banana peels don't taste very good...

LOL!

that was an interesting site... however that's not where it said to put the dirt! I had an entirely different visual

If I were a woman, I could never sleep with a man from Pakistan. They're NASTY! They stink, they are UNCLEAN!!!111 Think of all of the diseases you would get, since men from Pakistan sodomize goats and camels! Of course, if you've seen the women there, you'd know why!!!11 They're sub-human! You can ONLY get infections from Pakistani men; because they're UNCLEAN and they STINK!!!111

*removes tongue from cheek and hopes everyone "gets it" If not, let the flaming begin*

well...all i can say is, if i ever have sons...they will not be circumcised. if they choose to do that as an adult, then more power to them...but i won't subject my child to that. no way.

i think i read someplace that the US has by far the highest rates of circumcision in the world...but that those numbers are (finally!) dropping and coming into line with the rest of the world.

False statement in bold.

Circumcision is predominant in most countries, with the exception of western Europe.

Countries with circumcision rates of 75% - 100%

North and West Africa plus much of East Africa, eg Algeria, Cameroon, Chad, Dahomey, Egypt (Muslim and Christian), Ethiopia, Gabon, Gambia, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Kenya. Libya, Madagascar, Mali, Mauretania, Morocco, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Sudan, Tanzania, Togo, Tunisia, Northern Uganda, Upper Volta, Zaire [NB, some of these now have new names but it would be a real surprise if most of the guys there had grown new foreskins as a result.). Plus the Islamic areas of Asia - Afghanistan, Bahrein, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkey, UAE, Yemen (N+S). Plus Tonga and Samoa, with Canada and the US at the bottom end of the range (80%).

25% to 75%

The rest of Africa, parts of Asia with sizeable Muslim populations ( for example, there are more Muslims in India than there are in Pakistan), the Pacific Islands.

0% to 25%

Central and South America and the Caribbean. Western Europe (these days Britain comes at the top end of this group - 20%). Australia and NZ, Non-Islamic Asia (though there are sizeable Muslim populations there), Soviet Union.

LMAO @ Cian

I don't think she'll "get" the humour though.....
